Defending Against Internet Sex Crime Conviction

A conviction for any sex crimes means having to register with the Illinois Sex Offender Registry. Offenders must register annually, sometimes more often, and most convictions in Illinois require lifetime registration. Such an association may bar you from employment opportunities, severely affect your relationships and dictate where you live, where you can go, and with whom you can associate. In addition, failure to register as a sex offender is a felony with its own set of penalties.
